@sssfCommunity @JuergenMoltmann 2/ “When Jesus proclaims that the kingdom of God is 'at hand', he is not looking into the future in a temporal sense; he is looking into the heaven of the present. The kingdom does not 'come' out of the future into the present. It comes from heaven to earth..." #juergenmoltmann

The messianic interpretation of the experience of the moment that ends & gathers up time is 'the redemption of the future' from the power of history. The eschaton, neither the future of time, nor timeless eternity, is God's coming and arrival. - Moltmann
